The explosive growth in digital data is challenging all of us to find effective ways to capture, curate, and make information accessible to current and future scholars. Agricultural scientific research data present special issues for curation, including proper storage, regular quality control review, formatting, and usability. The National Agricultural Library (NAL) has been at the forefront of organizing and digitizing paper-based information and developing digital repositories. The session will discuss how our experiences doing this can be applied to organizing research data and making it more easily accessible.
